ECHO EFFECT 2

 ECHO EFFECT WAS AWESOME. TOBY WAS AN AMAZING TEACHER AND PUT UP WITH A LOT OF CRAP FROM MANY OF THE STUDENTS IN HERE. THIS CLASS WAS ALL ABOUT MAKING FILMS AND LEARNING HOW TO WORK CAMERAS AND MESSING AROUND WITH EDITING AND SPECIAL EFFECTS.

I DID KNOW HOW TO WORK A CAMERA ALREADY WHEN I JOINED THE CLASS BUT I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT GOES INTO EDITING AND HOW MUCH EFFORT IT TAKES TO MAKE A FILM GREAT. SADLY I DIDNT MAKE ANYTHING AMAZING IN THIS CLASS ASIDE FROM MY SNAKE PROJECT WITH ISAAC. WE LEARNED ABOUT STOP MOTION AS WELL AND THAT WAS REALLY FUN. IT WAS THE EASIEST PROJECT TOBY GAVE US. MY LEAST FAVORITE PROJECT WAS THE DRUNK DOCUMENTRY I MADE WITH SEVERAL OTHER CLASS MATES IT WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE AS WELL AS THE CHILDRENS STORY. 

I KIND OF WISH WE WOULDVE BEEN ABLE TO JUST GO OUT AND FILM WHATEVER WE WANTED TO BUT SOMETIMES YOU NEED STRUCTURE WHEN IT COMES TO FILMING.  IF I COULD CHANGE ANY ONE THING IN THE CLASS IT WOULD BE TO HAVE MORE TIME TO COMPLETE THE FILMS AND NOT SO MANY PROJECTS AT ONCE OR AFTER ONE ANOTHER. THIS SEMESTER SEEMED LIKE FILMING OVER KILL 'CAUSE OF HOW OFTEN WE HAD PROJECTS TO DO WITH SUCH LITTLE TIME. GUESS THATS WHAT HAPPENS IN A VERY HANDS ON CLASS.
